Sequel? Jesus comes back, gets a gun and kills a bunch of dudes? That's pretty much Mel's wheelhouse

In the 1870s, coal magnates in PA mobilized a private police force against a non existent organization, the Molly Maguires. Like ANTIFA, the Mollies were an object of intense hype and anxiety. Evidence for their existence came only from coal magnates and their press allies. 20 men were hung.

It actually doesn’t. The red scare was extremely successful in repressing far left dissent
